I had the same problem. Thier main food source are grubs. Use a poison that gets rid of the grubs and that will get rid of the moles. IMO.

I've heard that and others.

Kill the grubs. Which I have a lot of and have treated the yard for them.
Juicy Fruit chewing gum... put it in the hole they eat and it kills them
The trap I have
Some kind of sonic gizmo that drives them away
Poison

I'm not in the city limits but on a major highway. I can see it now. The sheriff showing up from reports of passerbyes of a man in the yard with a shotgun. Ummm officer, I was hunting moles.

hell i was in the backyard in slippers and a robe with Gen 3 Night vision goggles and an 8 gauge riot shotgun and the neighbors found it "suspicious" cause i was walking around staring at the ground and firing "arbitrary" shots.

But i live in a large neighborhood in the middle of houston.

I shot one with my .45 not too long ago, I had it on me so I figured what the hell. I still want to use the shotgun but, I want to get rid of them to get rid of the holes so a shotgun isnt really going to help much. Hmm chewing gum ehhh.... Off to the junk drawer I go..............

Smoke bombs and a board... place smoke bomb in hole and cover with board or brick..

Or just get teh water hose and put it in the hole and sit back...



Might not work but sounds like fun..

We killed a Armadillo at my buddys house like that.... Silly thing went in a hole by their carport... so we just got the water hose and stuck down in the hole and turned the water on kindof low... Sat back with a .22 pistol and waited him out...
